Yin and Yang

In Chinese philosophy, the concept of Yin-Yang " 阴 阳 " is used to describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent in the natural world; and, how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. 

Many natural dualities such as light and dark, high and low, hot and cold, fire and water, life and death and so on, are thought of as physical manifestations of the Yin-Yang concept - Ki.

My husband helped inspired this design; it is based on Yggdrasil, the Tree of Life in Norse Mythology - Ki.
